As a force the country is like nature itself
powerful, mysterious. As nature can be
benevolent and also dreaded for the fury it
unleashes as its elements collide with the planet
so too is the country which like nature is ancient
and imperial. Nature brooks no interference
in its rages and so does that country inform others
that it behooves them to venture lightly in their
approach to the behemoth that it is, for it too
tolerates no interference in its trajectories that
surpass those of all other nations grasping the
hard goods it produces while consuming the
world's store of energy and natural resources.
In turn the giant bestows upon an anxious world
a lethal virus complementing lab-produced opioids
both wreaking havoc in a vulnerable world
where wealth of nations decline as the colossus
offers the shrug of indifference along with
production of vital protective items to forestall
contagion of the deadly monster it unleashed.
